Meek and w. L. Tanner, Of the
Frankfort Natural Gas and Oil
Company, we took run down to
Lagrange Monday afternoon to
see what progress was being made
in boring for natural gas. We
found the we'll had been sunk to
the depth of sos feet. and the
drill is kept going night and day.
Sufficient stock has been sold in
Lagrange and Cincinnati insure
the sinking of three wells, in case
the one now being sunk fails to
find the gas. They expect to go
down sixteen hundred feet, which
is three hundred feet deeper than
we will have to go here, as Frank
fort is that much lower than
Lagrange. Some years ago we'll
was sunk just under the platform
of the freight depot, on the left

companies to take a lease on the
place and see if the gas is still

THE DISASTER AT zuc.
Houses and Other Buildings Slide
Into a Lake.
Many People Swept Away and
Drowned.
Twenty Persons Lose Their Lives
Loss to Property $3.50, 900.

BERNE, July For some time past a few
cfevices have been appearing in the new
quay at Zug, which cost $4,000. At 8 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon the lake in front Of the
stone work began to bubble. The quay then
cracked and eight feet of it fell into the
lake. Twelve persons who rushed from an
adjoining cafe were precipitated into the
water and drowned. After short interval
another slip dragged several houses into
the water. A landing stage followed, and
steamer which had just arrived was hurled
100 yards forward. At o'clock two boats
going to the rescue were engulfed, only one
boatman rising to the surface. At the same
moment hut in which was three children
fell into the water. Furniture was now hur-
riedly removed from threatened points.
Shortly after the property was removed Is
houses and 10 huts disappeared within five
minutes, including Hotel Zurich. the roof of
which is still visible above the surface. A
cafe, in which were 10 customers, was next
engulfed, and $50 metres Of the neighbor-
ing street slowly vanished people jumping
from windows of houses to escape being
drowned. A party Of officers returning from
Lueerne assisted the fire brigade in rescuing
lmperilled persons, but as the danger in
creased troops were summoned from Berne.
A third land-slip occurred at II o'clock in
the afternoon, carrying five houses out into
the lake and damaging many others. The
municipal treasure was removed from the
lower hall to the postoffiee. Twenty-Five
persons are missing, and GOO are homeless.
The damage is about S25O,0OO.
similar disaster occurred at Zug in 1883,
when 160 lives were lost

The Maine Statesman Surrounded

LONDON, July 7.-Mr. Blaine met with
great surprise at the American Exchange in
London this morning. He yesterday agreed
to meet Mr. Gillig, the Exchange manager, at
a certain hour today, whereupon Mr.. Gillig
sent invitations to all the young lady auto
graph fiends of the colony to meet the states
man. When Mr.. Blaine entered there they
were, dressed in all the modern freaks of
London, crowding the banking Office to the
door and packed into the spiral stairway
cese to the second floor Mr.. Blaine, fol-
lowed by Senator Hale, forced his way
through the inner office where the young
women, with books in hand, pushed after
them Mr.. Blaine held an informal leyee'
shaking hands with all the misses and then
scratched his autograph in the book of each.
He seemed to enjoy the affair lie COM
mended the Exchange as the spot in London
to find pretty girls and added: Believe me,
the American girls are the loveliest see in
England"
After he had been introduced to every one
in the building he returned to the Metropoli-
tan with Senator Hale.
Mr. Blaine left today for Edinburgh. He
was accompanied by the Lord Mayor of Lon
don and Senator Hale of Maine. The party
occupied royal car, which was decorated
with flags and the Maine coat Of arms. Mr..
Blaine will be the guest at Edinburgh of Mr.
Andrew Carnegie and he is expected to
speak at a reception organized by the people
of Edinburgh to show their recognition of
Carpegie's generosity to the city,
